It’s been 14 years since the Oklahoma City Bombing. Here are some pictures I took the other day.
Oh, it seemed like a holy place,
Protected by amazing grace
And we would sing right out loud
The things we could not say…

Chalk board sidewalk near the Oklahoma City Memorial Museum, Oklahoma City | Jill Randolph, RIP | The day of the bombing, I was working in public affairs at Tinker Air Force Base. Tinker is located about five miles northeast of downtown OKC. Jill was an alum of Southern Nazarene University, Class of 1991. She was a great girl. She worked as an accountant in the credit union.
That was a day that will remain in my soul forever. I can’t tell you how many days that I cried and cried and cried for those poor souls.
Haunting photos.
Hugs,

I am really enjoying your blog. Those were awesome fotos. I am going to go visit picnik.com.
Hey Jen!
Very moving pictures. I remember the moment that I first heard of this horrible event. I was driving home from a college class and it came over the radio. It’s hard to understand such cold and calculated, evil disregard for human life. This is the nature of terrorism.
The pictures are lovely, thanks for sharing them.
